: PLAIN DEALER REPORTER : North Olmsted photographer Chuck Gentile has the right to sell posters of
: the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum without violating any trademark
: laws, U.S. District Judge Patricia Gaughan has ruled. : Climaxing a 3 1/2-year-old case that has attracted national attention, the
: ruling appears to be a triumph for the First Amendment and assures - at
: least for now - that people will be able to continue shooting photographs of
: structures such as the Empire State Building and the Gateway Arch in St.
: Louis.
